Last year, you helped provide necessary Dense Breast Software upgrades to better pinpoint which patients need additional levels of cancer screening for accurate diagnosis. You also helped launch the brand-new Breast Cancer Patient Experience Project, focused on improving each patient’s comfort and surroundings while in the Breast Center. This year, we ask you to Raise your Ribbon and join us as we fundraise for a new ultrasound machine for the Breast Center at Huntsville Hospital for Women and Children, including an ultrasound table with specialty mattress.

Thanks to generous supporters of the fund, more than $6.6 million has been raised to support breast cancer awareness programs and to equip Huntsville Hospital and Madison Hospital Breast Centers with the latest diagnostic technology.
